Sun poisoning Sun poisoning affects 10 percent of
women and three percent of men in the general
population. Sun poisoning is a reaction to
overexposure to the sun in areas of the skin most
exposed to sunlight. Sun poisoning is a pimply,
itchy eruption, which comes despite dark
complexion or sunscreen protection. It is an
allergy to the long waves of ultraviolet light
(UVA), which ordinary sunscreens don't block,
regardless of how high their SPF number is.
Sunburn results when the amount of expos...

Shelley Cox... Started in 1927 by Harry and
Caresse Crosby (ne Polly Jacobs) Crosby,
well-to-do young expatriates living in Paris, the
Black Sun Press was created to publish its
founders' maiden (though not especially maidenly)
attempts at verse in beautifully bound, hand set
books. Dissatisfied with two earlier volumes, the
Crosby found Roger Les caret, a "master printer"
whose previous works had been primarily funeral
notices, to print Harry's poems in a fine edition.
They were so delighted at...

Asteroids Asteroids are massive lumps of rock that
orbit the Sun. They can be anything up to 1000
kilometers wide and are sometimes described as
minor planets. Most asteroids in the Solar System
lie in a belt - the Asteroid Belt - orbiting the
Sun between Mars and Jupiter, but some are
orbiting relatively nearby. These nearby asteroids
are called Potentially Hazardous Asteroids or PHAs
because they could collide with the Earth as
gigantic meteorites. Meteorites Meteorites are
bits of space debri...

The Sun The sun is the largest object in the solar
system. It is a middle-sized star and there are
many other stars out in the universe just like it.
Even though it is only a middle-sized star it is
large enough to hold over 1 million Earth's inside
if it were hollow. The temperature on the sun is
far too much for any living thing to bear. On the
surface it is 10, 000 degrees Fahrenheit and the
core is a stunning 27, 000, 000 degrees
Fahrenheit. But don't worry we are over 90, 000
million miles ...

Description of eclipse in 'The Eclipse' by
'Virginia Woolf " Virginia Woolf, English
novelist, essayist, and critic has beautifully
portrayed the natural phenomenon of eclipse. She
has also enlightened the importance of the sun.
She has narrated the essay dramatically and has
regarded sun as an actor that was going to come on
the stage to perform as if a drama was going on.
The sky served as a stage. She has made the scene
vivid and ravishing by the usage of colors, images
and similes. The way s...

Aristarchus lived from about the year 310 B. C. to
about 230 B. C. Aristarchus was the first Greek
philosopher and mathematician to make sense of the
solar system. Others before him thought that the
Earth is a sphere and that it moves, but he was
the first to understand the heliocentric theory,
which states that the sun is in the middle. In
288 or 287 B. C. he followed Theophrastus as the
head of the Peripatetic School established by
Aristotle. Aristarchus has only one existing book
that is "On...

terms that followers can understand. They also
demonstrate a consi...

If you know where and when to look, you can treat
yourself to a colourful display of, spots and
pillars. These images can tell you something about
the clouds overhead and possible changes in the
weather. All of these images a recreated by light
shining through cirrostratus clouds. These clouds
occur at an altitude of 6, 000-12, 000 metre's.
They appear as a thin sheet or layer (strata) that
is pure white. The layer of cloud is so thin (only
100-450 metre's) that is doesn't obscure the sun
or moo...

The earliest known measurement from the earth to
sun was in 200 B. C. Aristarchus of Samos, a man
of astronomy and Mathematics, made this discovery.
He believed the Earth revolved around the Sun.
Aristarchus of Samos used what is known today as
right-angle trigonometry. By connecting Earth to
Moon, Moon to Sun, and Sun to Earth, one forms a
right triangle as shown below. The measure of
angle "a" is 90^0; an observer on Earth can then
measure the angle measure of "b." Then for one to
find the di...

In Albert Camus' 'The Stranger'; the 'story of an
ordinary man who gets drawn into a senseless
murder'; is told. Taking place in Algeria this
man, Meursault, is constantly in a climate of
extreme warmth, as are all the inhabitants
therein. The sun, the source of light and the
cause of this warmth, is thus a vital and normal
part of his life. It brings warmth and comfort yet
it can also cause pain and sickness. Throughout
most of his life Meursault has lived with the
conflicting forces of the su...

Myths about the Sun and Moon The sun and the moon
are powerful beings that bring life and death to
all living creatures. They control when it is day
or night, which season it is, and the weather.
They fascinate humans and a considerable amount of
mythology has been dedicated to the creation of
the sun and moon and why or how they travel across
the sky during the day and night. This paper will
discuss and compare some of these myths and the
gods attributed to their care and existence. The
sun and...

In The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane uses
the sun to symbolize the growth and enlightenment
of Henry Fleming as well as the hope of the
soldiers. The sun along with nature was used to
show the hopes and fears of Henry and his
regiment. Stephen Crane uses the sun to emphasize
the fear and triumph that the youth and his
regiment feel. In the eastern sky there was a
yellow patch like a rug laid for the feet of the
coming sun (pg. 25). This represents the fear of
the battle that Henry and the...

Many artists, authors, and composers have put the
beauty and warmth of the sun in their work. The
Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh created landscapes
that expressed his joy with sunshine. The American
poet, Emily Dickinson, wrote a poem called "The
Sun" which she described the rising and setting of
the sun. The Russian composer, Nicholas
Rimsky-Korsakov, included a beautiful song, "Hymn
to the Sun," in his opera The Golden Cockerel.
However, Camus' usage of the sun opposes its
warmth and beauty in...

SUN MICROSYSTEMS ISSUE: What should be the Sun's
product portfolio (or product mix) given the
current environmental conditions and competition?
SUGGESTION Sun should change its image from server
maker to solution provider including hardware,
software and services and look for partners if
something is missing in the value chain. Sun
should focus on low-end servers and Linux. Sun
should build application to manage the distributed
processing and storage power. For Java build the
good developer tool...

Newspaper Analysis - The Sun The newspaper I am
studying is The Sun, for the 10 th September 2003.
The price for the most popular tabloid is 30 p. In
1964, The Sun was known as one of the best
broadsheet newspapers, but was losing a great
amount of money. The Sun was up for sale shortly
after, but there was only two key players
interested in buying: the multi-millionaire Labour
MP Robert Maxwell and the right-leaning Australian
newspaper proprietor Rupert Murdoch, who already
owned The News of t...

The Solar System As far as we know all life
depends on the sun. The light and heat of the sun
play an essential role in a lot of ways. If it was
not for the sun; the seasons would not change, air
wouldn't circulate, clouds wouldn't form, and rain
would not fall. The sun is also the main source of
all food, this is because the sun powers the
plants which causes photosynthesis to occur;
without this process it would not be possible to
produce green plants. The sun powers our source of
coal and oil...

1. a) What is a constellation? A constellation is
a group of stars that appears to form a pattern in
the sky. b) What are circumpolar constellations?
Give examples. They appear to move around Polaris
the star located almost exactly above Earth's
North Pole. Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and Cassiopeia
are examples of circumpolar constellations. c)
Describe and explain the apparent motions of the
stars in our sky? The apparent movement of
circumpolar constellations is caused by earth

A halo occurs when the light from the sun or the
moon is refracted and reflected by ice crystals in
the atmosphere, usually in a thin layer of high
cirrostratus clouds. Under certain circumstances a
second, or outer, halo appears, which is fainter
than the inner one. At times white or colored
luminous arcs are also seen lying somewhat
parallel to the horizon and passing through the
source of light, called mock suns, parhelia, or
sun dogs for the sun, and paraselene for the moon.
A single mock su...

The Sun is the central object of the solar systems
and the largest as it contains 99. 9% of the total
mass of the solar system. It outweighs everything
else in the solar system combined by a factor of
one thousand. (The Comic Perspective) The Sun is
the closest star to the earth. The strong
gravitational pull of the Sun holds the Earth and
the other planets within the solar system in
orbit. The light and heat from the sun affects all
of the objects in the solar systems and even
allows life to e...
